Another week has gone by and I have another brand new PowerPack ready for download. This time around it’s the Org Chart PowerPack. This is a PowerPack that I put together based on a Get-OrgChart function I wrote to analyze org chart data at work. It lets you do some really cool things such as:
- Dynamically create an org chart from users in Active Directory using title, department, office, address, and other properties.
- Generate a Visio Org Chart from PowerGUI for the any branch of an organization.
- Create statistical reports for the employees in your organization to see breakdowns of employees by office, department, management, etc.
- Dynamically generate Office Directory reports in HTML when using it in conjunction with the Advanced Reporting PowerPack.
Note: The Org Chart PowerPack uses the Quest AD cmdlets to retrieve information from AD so you will need to install those first before you can use the PowerPack.
If you would like to see how this PowerPack can be of benefit to you, check out this screencast:
This screencast was recorded in HD format so you can click on the HD button once you start watching it to enable high definition video. Alternatively, if you would prefer to watch a high resolution flash version with a table of contents you can watch the screencast here. I decided to try widescreen format this time since that is my format preference…let me know if this is a problem for you.
This is the first release of this PowerPack and I’m anxious to hear what you think so please give it a look and share your feedback so that I can improve it with another update in the future.
Thanks for listening!
Kirk out.
